Modern Workforce Management: Digital rostering software for HR & personnel management

Manual shift planning and the management of time accounts create a significant administrative burden in industrial companies. HR managers must continuously monitor compliance with working time legislation, collective agreements and safety instructions, whilst day-to-day operations demand maximum flexibility.

As a leading shift planning software solution, shyftplan streamlines these control processes. The system checks every schedule against the stored rules as it is being created and warns of potential breaches of working time legislation. Digital recording of absences and direct integration with payroll eliminate the need for manual data transfer. This supports compliance with working time legislation during audits and strengthens staff confidence through reliable processes.
